I have a 77 CB750.  One of my carbs is leaking from one of the tubes that connect one carb to the other.  i believe it is one of the fuel tubes.  i noticed on the schematic that there are o rings on the end of each tube.  that would seem to be the culprit.  does anyone have an opinion, and are those o rings easy enough to replace or do i need someone who is good with carbs to do it?

I thought the leak was coming from the float bowl and i replaced the float bowl gasket.  the leak is coming from the tube right above the float bowl.  has anyone else encountered this problem?
